Good price :) shame so many motherboards only came with only 2 or 3 slots. SATA 2.5" drives are still a thing only because of that reason
all laptops are now nvme drives too.
The problem is that an M.2 socket for an NVMe drive requires 4x PCIe lanes from the CPU. And CPUs don't have a lot to lanes to spare. Not after they've used up the first 16 of them for the video card slot, then however more for the other card slots, whether they are actually used or not.
MB Chipsets cover this issue
Shows $229 for me ☹️
I am still seeing $177
Let me guess, you live regional?
Yeah. Doesn't say anything regarding regional or metro being different prices though. Or am i missing something??
Ask your friend who lives in different area to check this post and see if they see the same price? I am still seeing 177
@djmm: I live regional too and see $229. Amazon are now frigging over regional buyers. Jeff can go eat a d!ck.
@MS Paint: Makes me wonder why i pay for prime. Before black friday, i could get anything really. This was the first time trying to buy something since BF and ran into this.
The $229 listing you saw was for a third-party seller (KS Computer), not Amazon AU's listing.
I just updated the link in the deal post to force Amazon to show you Amazon AU's listing. However, the issue is that if you now follow that link, add the item to your cart and go to the checkout page, you will get this error message (or something similar):
Sorry, this item can't be delivered to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the delivery address or delete the item from your order.
The reason you were originally only seeing the $229 listing first is that Amazon has decided to stop shipping a lot of items shipped from and sold by Amazon AU to many regional, rural and remote areas across Australia. This started around May 2024, but these delivery restrictions do not apply to all items shipped from and sold by Amazon AU. My frustration with these restrictions are two-fold:
Amazon AU's postcode restrictions for these kinds of items sometimes make no sense, as it seems as though someone at Amazon was throwing darts at maps to determine which postcodes to exclude. For example, consider Hobart (and surprisingly most parts of Hobart can have this item delivered to it, even though you could argue Hobart is regional). I cannot get this item delivered to Midway Point (7171), but I can get it delivered further east in Sorell (7172). If you want to drive east from Hobart Airport to Sorell, the fastest and most direct route is via Midway Point. AFAIK, Aramex and Australia Post usually handle Amazon AU deliveries in Hobart, and their depots are west of Hobart Airport. I cannot understand the logic for excluding Midway Point, but that is Amazon for you!
Btw, these shipping restrictions are separate from Amazon AU's shipping restrictions for hazardous materials (which you usually see on some cleaning products and perfumes). Amazon AU will not ship hazardous materials to most postcodes in Australia (including Adelaide, Perth and Hobart), and I suspect it is due to their delivery partners in most of Australia being unable to transport hazardous materials.
Good for ps5?
I would guess so, this is one of the fastest
No need. Waste of money PS4 is PCIE 4.0 only…
The samsung 990 Pro is faster when using a PCIe 4.0 slot
Also this would run HOT and the built in headsink WONT fit its too large
Is there even any point over gen 4 if you arent doing any creative or production work?
56% off the 2TB option - $343.79. Not sure if that's good or bad, haven't really looked at Gen 5 drives.
